Praise for Stories for Homes 2:

“Stories give our imaginations a home. It’s good to see them helping to give people shelter in the real world, too…” JOANNE HARRIS, author of Chocolat

“A cornucopia of witty, tragic, elegant, raw, heart-warming and terrifying stories that take the idea of Home, play with it as only truly talented writers can, and all to help those who have no home at all.” EMMA DARWIN, author of The Mathematics of Love and A Secret Alchemy

The Online Anthology

The standard of submission for Stories for Homes 2 was incredibly high. With so many fantastic stories to choose from, it was decided to make a second selection of 29 pieces to form an online anthology.

Stories for Homes Volume 1

The first Stories for Homes anthology was published in 2013. Known and emerging writers were invited to submit stories on the theme of Home. After a rigorous editorial process, 63 stories were selected for the anthology. All the production and administration was done on a volunteer basis, and every penny of profit from the book goes directly to Shelter.

It is available in both paperback and e-book format from selected bookshops, Amazon and Create Space store.
